"Islamist militants admit to London bomb plot" by Alan Cowell and John F. Burns | New York Times, February 02, 2012
LONDON - Four Islamist militants, all British citizens, admitted involvement yesterday in a conspiracy inspired by Al Qaeda to place a bomb in the toilets of the London Stock Exchange, with the hope that the multistory building would catch fire. Five other men involved in the plot pleaded guilty to lesser charges.
Oh, that is SUCH a FART in the FACE all while LAUGHING from the New York Times!
Just wondering WHAT TOILET they are talking about here.
Is there a qaqa in the toilet?
For the record, readers, my first reaction to reading that first sentence of the story was hearty ha-ha session. It is insulting propaganda, but the fact is that it is SO RIDICULOUS and so IN-YOUR-FACE with FALSEHOOD it has BECOME LAUGHABLE these days.
Yes, that's right. My newspaper is now more COMIC RELIEF than anything else -- or would be were the topic matter not involving such fatal deceptions!

Find me one that doesn't and I'll start buying and reading it.
Prosecutors said the plot was foiled by the arrests of the nine men, all with family origins in Bangladesh or Pakistan, in December 2010 at their homes in London, Cardiff, and the Midlands town of Stoke-on-Trent. They said the men’s plans were discovered after undercover counterterrorism officers tailed them as they surveyed London tourist attractions and tracked their conversations through secret electronic monitoring devices planted in their homes, cars, and computers.
So who was their case officer posing as instigator, I mean, informant?
Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the US Embassy were among the targets scouted or considered by the men, the court was told. Others included the homes of the London mayor and the US ambassador, two rabbis, and the London Eye, a 440-foot Ferris wheel towering above the River Thames.
Part of Britain's battle against homegrown blah-blah-blah?
Ever hear of Mr. Aswat or Mr. Khan, readers?

You know, I really hate to harp on the same points over and over again, but IT IS NEEDED!
The SAD FACT is "terrorism" is a GOVERNMENT-CREATED, -FUNDED, and -DIRECTED activity! Once you REALIZE THAT and know what a FALSE FLAG OPERATION IS the newspapers and corporate media begin to smell like an overused port-o-potty.
The outcome was taken by British counterterrorism specialists as a triumph for the elaborate electronic surveillance techniques deployed by the country’s web of intelligence and security agencies.
And CUI BONO, 'eh?
But the case also served as a warning of potential threats as London prepares a security force of nearly 25,000 men and women, including troops, to protect the 2012 summer Olympic Games, which begin in July.
PFFFFFFFFFFT!
Oh, excuse me, readers.

Leaving them lying around so the Iranians, I mean, "terrorists" could find them?
The nine men had been set to plead innocent to terrorism charges but changed their pleas to guilty when the judge warned them of the heavy sentences, including up to 13 1/2 years for the man suspected of being the ringleader, if the case went to a prolonged trial. The men are to be sentenced next week.
The militants involved in the case that went to court yesterday met through their affiliations with Islamic groups, prosecutors said, and communicated via Internet and cellphone. They also met in public places, like parks.
Mohammed Chowdhury, 21, and Shah Rahman, 28, both of Bangladeshi descent and from London, together with two militants from Wales, Gurukanth Desai, 30, and Abdul Miah, 25, admitted planning to plant a bomb at the London Stock Exchange “with the obvious attendant risk but without any intention to cause death or even injury but with the intention to terrorize, damage property and to cause economic damage,’’ said Christopher Blaxland, a lawyer acting for Chowdhury.

I think I'll just hold it and wait until I get home.
